The Supreme Court's decision in Plessy v. Ferguson was unconstitutional because since segregation laws did not provide equal protections or liberties to non-whites, the ruling was not consistent with the 14th Amendment.

In Plessy v. Ferguson's case in 1896, America's Supreme Court established that as long as there was equality, racially separated facilities were not unconstitutional. According to the Court, segregation did not discriminate.

But actually, the separate facilities granted to African Americans were infrequently equal. Normally they were far from being equal, or were completely inexistent.

Distribution of education budget in Florida, for example, was extremely different depending on the race: whereas white people counted on a budget  of over 70 million dolars for their schools, libraries, and more, black people counted on a budget of less than 5 million. They teached and learned in churchs, huts, and shelters without bathrooms, water supply, desks or chalkboards.

This principle of "separate but equal" was only employed to reaffirm white majority supremacy over black minority, and was eventually abandoned in 1954.

Answer: A. “Men” functions as a keyword that helps create a rhythm.

Explanation:

The most likely reason that the speaker repeats the word “men” in the passage is because “Men” functions as a keyword that helps create a rhythm.

"Men" doesn't emphasize the subject that the speaker is interested in discussing nor does it functions as an important point in the speaker’s logical argument, rather it is vital for the rhythm in the passage to be created.

4. Have you had your meal?

5. Who is cooking now?

6. Do you have medicine?

7. Where will you go on Monday?

Explanation:

<u>1. He said that he is a doctor.</u>

Indirect speech is when a speech spoken is relayed to another person by using indirect words, changing some of the words while still retaining the meaning of the whole speech.

<u>2. Rice was cooked by her.</u>

Passive voice is when the object comes in front and the verb acts upon the subject.

<u>3. What have you brought?</u>

The "what" question will ask a question asking 'what' is done.

<u>4. Have you had your meal?</u>

The "yes/no" question is when the answer will either be yes/ no.

<u>5. Who is cooking now?</u>

The "who" question asks the question of "who" as the main answer.

<u>6. Do you have medicine?</u>

A positive sentence relays a positive answer.

<u>7. He has no hat.</u>

A negative sentence contains negative words like "no, not" etc.

<u>8. Where will you go on Monday?</u>

The "where" question asks the place or location of an action.
